access control panel can be configured as either one or two readers per door.

configured as a one or two-door panel. Each AC-425 panel has four readers
and can be configured as a two or four-door panel.
When using an optional MD-D02 (supported by AC-225 or AC-525) or MD-
D04 (supported by the AC-425) reader expansion board, each panel has four
or eight readers and is configurable as such.
